I’ve never been interested in sex – not even with my girlfriend

DEAR DEIDRE: FOR as long as I can remember, I’ve had no sex drive. I am a man of 28 and struggle to get in the mood.

My girlfriend is 27 and we have been together for almost a year. She is gorgeous and I love her.

I don’t think it is normal for someone of my age to have little to zero interest in sex

She accepts my low sex drive and doesn’t give me too much of a tough time, but I know deep down she would like to have sex more often.

I worry she will leave me if things don’t improve but I am struggling to fix it.

I am beginning to think there is something genuinely wrong.

I don’t think it is normal for someone of my age to have little to zero interest in sex.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is common to lose interest in sex from time to time and libido levels vary through life.

Over a long period of time it can be an indicator of an underlying health condition, such as reduced hormone levels, so do talk to your GP.

You can show your girlfriend sexual love and desire, and give her pleasure and satisfaction, without needing an erection.
